Henceforth DIR. McGlynn VIII Be to
the Church OF Rome as Though
He Did Not Exist.

NEW YORK, July 9.-The bolt that
has for weeks been hanging over the
head OF DR.. McGlynn has fallen. He
has been communicated and hence
forth will be to the Church OF Rome
as though he had never lived. A
Mod and Erpre. reporter learned posi-.
lively this morning at Archbishop
Corrign's residence that the Pspal
brief ordering the communication
had been received, and that, accom-.
panied by letter from the Arch
bishop Corrigsn, II would be read in
all the Catholic churches of thi, dio.
cese tomorrow.
DR.. Mcdonnell had but one copy OF
the decree when the Mail and Express
reporter called at the Palace. Another
had been given to the printer. DR..
Mcdonnell declined to part with his
copy. The Papal bret is not long, but
IL 10 very much 10 the point. IL sets
forth the contumacy Of the ex priest,
and refers with sorrow 10 his persist.

and do pena3cs for the scandal that he
has provoked. 1t goes on at some
length to explain the necessity Of the
present act, compliments Archbishop
Corrigan on his frmness and deere

tion In his archdiocese at once. The
letter from the Archbishop will recite
anew the anxious efforts Of the local
church and authorities to bring DR..
McGlynn TO proper eense OF

concludes by exhorting the
faithful 10 obey implicitly
the mandate from Rome with refer

the last act in this strange drama so

THE TENTH OF $4,000.
How A Colored Boy Became Rich, AnC
the Effect His Wealth Has Had
Upon Him-One Dollar In
The Louisiana State
i.t t.u LOTTERY @

K Ofcourse a majority of our people
are opposed to gambling, but there is
considerable pleasure when you try
it to know that you are going to play
a game that Is fair. Clifford j.
Tweedy, the colored boy who was
the lucky holder of the one-tenth OF
ticket 23,899-the second capital prize
of $50, 900 received about week age
his one-tenth, or $1,000, and oul
readers would perhaps like to know
something of this colored boys life,
and how he won the prize, and what
he has done and intends doing with
his money.
Clifford is a likely colored boy,
about twenty-one or twenty-five
years of age and was raised by Mr.,
Henry T. Peay, with whom he has
been for the past sixteen years. Al
the time of his drawing the $1,000 he
was in the employ of Mr.. Peay, get
ting $8 per month. He has retained
his position with Mr.. Peay, and does
his work as faithfully as ever.
After receiving his 5000 he de.
posted 81 900 in the Georgia Railroad
Bank and took one thousand dollars
and divided a portion of it amongst
his poor colored relations. Be it to
his credit too, he did not forget his
employer, Mr.. Peay, to whom he
gave present of fifty dollars.
He says with the four thousand
dollars that he has deposited in the
Georgia Railroad he intends to buy
Augusta real estate, another sigr
that he has level head. In answer
to the question how much he had in
vested before winning, he replied
that he had bought a ticket regularly
every month for the last fifteen
months, and it was the fifteenth dol
lar that did the work. -Augusta (Ga.
Chrnicle, April 30.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1887-05-28

Col. CoLYAR makes the confiscated
types of the American print this
equivocal expression:
Gentlemen in the same party, diff
fering with each other on questions
as they arise may, with respectful ear
nestness present each his views.
When he is beaten and the law of
the party fixed against him, the
question may arise whether the issue
alone should control his action or
whether or not all other questions,
including the organization, shall con-
troll him. @,a
"When he is beaten and the law Of
the party fixed against him" and he
refuses, like Col. Colyar, to endorse
the law, then the only question that
should "arise" is the question as to
how soon he can get out of the party
and openly join its enemies.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1887-05-28

IT requires no prophetic vision to
foretell where Col. Colyar will be
found in the next presidential cam
vass. The Democracy viii have a
paper in Nashville representing the
principles OF the party and there will
be no place for Col. Colyar and his
followers but in the radical "protec-
tive" tariff ranks.
The sooner this comes the better
for the people of Tennessee. Those
who have followed him in his
protection" ideas and his Blair bill
scheme and other side issues will
then see clearly the purport of all
the juggling which Gov. Taylor and
Col. Colyar have been conducting
since the Inauguration. The attempt
to silence the voice of the. people by
a concentration Of money and buy
ing a "controling interest" in the
peoples paper can not succeed but il
will serve to put the people on their
guard and warn them of the aggres-
sion which is attempted by a monied
monopoly to stifle the voice of a
press that dares to advocate the cats
of Justice and truth
